.As a basic common sense, if you want to take a military coup, you must have more or less armed forces at hand.

Although Naomasa Sakai and other rebels, although they each had some well-trained trusted servants and private guards, were very small, and together they were only more than one thousand. With such a little pitiful military force, they had to subvert the Edo Shogunate, which still seemed to be a giant, which made people feel a little guilty.

As for the 80,000 samurai samurai in Edo Castle, although they are all very standard professional soldiers in terms of identity, no one dares to really use them as an army. After such a long period of peace and being deliberately suppressed by the current shogunate, the samurai sword is just a decoration for them. We cannot expect that their martial arts have not been abandoned, nor do we have any hope for their discipline and courage.

In this way, after learning that the Aizu family's army refused to participate in the uprising, these conspirators from the De's family were shocked to find that although the overall situation was so favorable, they could not pull out any reliable regular troops around them for a while.

However, the Mito vassal lord Tokugawa Nagata was not concerned about this embarrassing situation.

"After experiencing the continuous heavy damage in Changzhou and Kyoto, the shogunate is now full of all the troops and their fighting spirit is depressed. Although we don't have any regular troops in our hands, are there any of the brigades of merchants? The new army of 14,000 people and the new navy of 11 warships are all over. They only have two or three thousand urban management teams left in Edo! As long as we can successfully move 80,000 flag-based samurai, there are 30,000 foreign vassals stationed in Beijing. Isn't it easy to deal with such a few armed untouchables?"

"The remaining force of the shogunate itself is indeed not worth fearing, but they are supported by Western ghosts and animals!"

Naomasa Sakai touched his chin and retorted that as the second-in-command Shin-kuen, although his real power was quite limited, he was well-versed in the news. He naturally had a very deep understanding of how weak and powerless the shogunate is now.

In the past six months, a series of wars in the Kinki district have almost been devastating to the military and political forces of the shogunate. The most elite new naval and army completely destroyed, and there was no one left. The pro-shogunate forces arranged in the western country were uprooted, and only a few defeated generals were trapped in the Dacui Castle; the pro-shogunate forces in the Kanto region also suffered heavy damage due to sending troops to assist in the war, or changed their positions because they saw the situation worsening; the whole country fell into a de facto anarchy. The shogunate government orders basically did not leave Edo Castle; finally, the military expenditures that have been accumulated over the years disappeared without a trace in just a few months because of the huge military expenditures.

Generally speaking, the Edo Shogunate has basically fallen from a national central government to an Edo currency government, and it has no warships or silver to replenish its payroll. It has long been bankrupt. There are not many firm supporters and cannot restore and replenish its combat effectiveness. It only depends on inertia and the remaining urban management team to maintain its operation for the time being. It is not necessary to overthrow such a weak regime. There are no formal troops at all, just a group of mobs. For example, the "80,000 Flag Manuscript" who is extremely resentful because the shogunate deducts salary. It is not difficult to incite these short-sighted guys to get up and make trouble.

Even after the matter is done, for the "80,000 Flag Book" that is bleeding and crying, it will probably not be a small problem of deducting salary, but a big problem of no one giving them salary...

However, behind this weak regime that seemed to be blown by the wind, there is a relatively difficult group of "Western ghosts".

"The Naserel Far East Army, which was originally deployed in the Edo Castle and Yokohama Concession, had the elite troops with strong combat effectiveness, and were basically taken to the Western War Zone by Admiral Perry by Admiral Perry, and suffered heavy losses in previous battles. Only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people were left behind in the rear base, which should not be difficult to deal with.

Unfortunately, while Admiral Perry went out to expedition to the west, another Naserel Expeditionary Force led by Major General Ferry 7 Taylor arrived in Edo and has been stationed and stranded to this day. These people are veterans who have just experienced an arduous expedition. The combat effectiveness is far above all the troops in our country. They also officially accepted the shogunate employment two days ago and took over most of the peripheral defense facilities in Edo Castle."

Sakai Naomasa sighed slightly with a little melancholy, informing the other party of the latest changes in Edo. According to the information we have, the original force of this unit was about 5,000. Recently, it was sold by the Kuroshima family and was able to recruit a large number of new recruits in the Edo area. In addition, some remaining miscellaneous armed forces in the Yokohama Concession were incorporated, and the total force was likely to reach about 10,000. Not to mention the 80,000 flag-making and 30,000 foreign samurai, how many people can we mobilize? Even if all the 110,000 mobs are on the battlefield, I am afraid that they will not be their opponents!"

"Your Excellency seems to be too worried. Even though these Western ghosts and animals are good at fighting, they are outsiders. They don't understand the details of our country very well. Moreover, the troops in Edo are just a newcomer and have not even stood firm. As long as we try to implement a plan to lure them out of the mountain and transfer them to a distance on the eve of the incident, will everything be fine?"

Tokugawa Nagara smiled confidently, "Since these Western ghosts have been hired by the shogunate, they will naturally obey the shogunate orders. At that time, I just need to let the Mito family organize the storm and make a move to go south to attack Edo. Although those anti-bone boys have only nominal respect for me, the vassal lord, it is still an easy task to convince them to respond to the court's downfall. Then you will have some activities in the shogunate. Finally, I will give an invitation to "assist the quelling of rebellion. Isn't it possible to transfer them from Edo to the Mito family in the north to marry with the rebels? Humph, when they get the news, they will rush back. The overall situation in Edo should be settled."

However, your layout is very feasible. But the commander is said to be an experienced general on the battlefield. Before sending troops north, even if he really took the time to seize the troops stationed in Edo Castle, he would definitely leave some troops to defend Yokohama's ancestral world.

As soon as Naomasa Sakai thought about it, he found the loopholes contained in this strategy. "Although the scale of that city is not stationed at present, the degree of defense facilities is still far above Edo Castle. It is impossible to kill just by relying on a group of unorganized, undisciplined and poorly equipped mobs without internal support or heavy artillery."

But, hehe, what you said is true. But why do we have to attack the Yokohama Concession?"

"Changle's expression became more confident in treating these arrogant and fierce Western ghosts. It is obviously impossible to fight by force alone. But as long as they are forced to indent the concession during the incident, they cannot interfere, and then they will send people to block the main traffic roads and create a time difference. After the incident is completely over, the Great Defense Merchant Group that usurped the shogunate government is destroyed.

In anger, we counterattack Edo? Then we will give up the city, leave a broken city for them, and retreat to their respective fiefs to deal with it. The Western army is indeed strong, but after all, the number is too small and far away from our hometown is thousands of miles away, and there is no support. If there are no traitors in our country who run and drive them, even if they win for a while, they will not be able to last long, and at most they can only retract back to their strongholds and defend.

Accept the reality and sit down with us to negotiate? That would be even better. Anyway, with our current military strength, we cannot expel these Western barbarians. In order to fight against the court that has always lacked credibility, it is better to continue to cooperate with them. We have lost authority and lived in poverty for so many years, and we have no indelible face. We can also agree to the conditions agreed by the Dajun Business Group in the past. After the destruction of the large group of merchants, if the Naserier people still want to stay on this land, they also need to find a new partner. Instead of hitting the walls of the court with stubborn minds and rigid minds, it is better to choose us who know each other well-known!"

But if there is an omission in the action; the big stopping merchant group has some brains to escape and successfully meet with the Western barbarians. Then wouldn’t we be forced to fight to the death with the Naserel army that came to quell the chaos and make the court get a bargain? Moreover, you are also clear that with the complex and disordered personnel composition of our side, it is almost impossible to make any mistakes at that time."

Sakai Naomasa continued to ask with some concern, and a few fingers gently tapped the tabletop.

In this loosely structured rebellious organization, the part he was responsible for was only the support of the shogunate. Most of the external actions must be delivered to the seemingly inappropriate lord in front of him.

On the other hand, once the matter is revealed, the ally in front of him may still be able to escape in the chaos. And he, the inner demon who is at the core of the enemy formation, will definitely fall into a killing situation of death without life.

Fortunately, although Tokugawa Nagata is relatively frivolous in his life style, at least in terms of conspiracy, he is not a careless fool, and can even be said to be quite careful.

"Haha, you are really unsure of winning, you are just going to lose first! In fact, if this worst situation really happens, there is still a last trump card. But you have to "borrow it from the court."

Tokugawa Nagata rubbed his fingers slightly complacently for more than half a year. Although our country has been in a turbulent and wars, the Naserel Empire, far away in the West, may not be so calm. According to the latest news I have learned, since last autumn, their country has fallen into the division between the north and the south. The Southern Army has mastered the righteousness of the capital and the central government, while the Northern Army has a stronger military strength. The Naserel Far Eastern Army stationed in our country has joined the Northern Army camp by side.

Therefore, in order to remove the wings of the Northern Army, the Southern Government actually sent an expeditionary army. They came to our country through mountains and rivers, and somehow they set up a line with the imperial court. In addition to a small army, they also brought an order signed by the central government of the Naserel Empire, requiring the immediate removal of Admiral Perry. All the Far East garrison troops were retreated and returned to the country.

No matter how arrogant the admiral was, he had to obey the orders of the Southern government in name, and his subordinates were not solid. There were always some people who were inclined toward there.

At that time, as long as we show the envoys of the Southern Army and the suspension and acceptance order, we will definitely be able to cause these Western ghosts to fall into chaos. It would be great to be able to provoke an internal strife. Even though Admiral Perry has a high position and power, he will eventually suppress the matter. We can at least gain a considerable buffer time, whether it is war or peace, we can prepare for this place, after all, it belongs to our country!"

"Sincereer Empire has had civil strife at this critical moment?"

In an instant, Naomasa Sakai's pupils suddenly magnified. "It's really unbelievable that such a good thing happened?!"

"It's true that when I was in Kyoto, I personally interviewed the envoy. I have preliminarily finalized some draft cooperation."

Tokugawa Nagata stood up from the tatami, smiled with a reserved face, and slowly walked to the open window, squinting his eyes to overlook the noisy street scene below, Lord Sakai. Although there are still some shortcomings, it is already the best time that has been rare in many years. Please make sure to make up your mind and give it a try! Now in this year, the hegemony of the family is indeed irreversible. But there is still the remaining three million stone territory, so a group of lowly merchants cannot be ruined!

In addition, there are also these profit-oriented and harboring evil intentions, intending to turn our country into a semi-colonial Western ghost mess.

Facing the noise and noise outside the window, Tokugawa Nagara stretched out his right hand in his sleeve and pointed at a few people across the street. In his luxurious Western military uniform and with a distinct face that was obviously different from the natives of Japan, he announced in a deep voice with a slightly resentful and excited expression that he could not indulge them to continue to be arrogant unscrupulously in the country where we are waiting!"

"Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh! Alas, it's really a hell. You can catch a cold in this hot day? Or is someone saying bad things about me behind my back?"

At the same time, a certain Yin Pseudo-girl who was shopping suddenly felt a chill on her spine. Then she sneezes several loudly. She couldn't help but complain in a low voice while wiping her snot with a handkerchief.

Defense: outside the number of words.

I hurriedly rushed, but I finally didn't degenerate to the weekly update.

Recently, I have browsed some other websites and found many unheard wonders. I am really impressed by the hilarious ideas of these authors. As I learned and absorbed these new experiences and tried to apply them to my own books, the update slowed down.

I just finished reading a hilarious comic book. The biggest feature is that I went through the head every time when I traveled through time. First, I wore "Conan", but the result was that I was a famous killer elementary school student. But the problem was that it was the genuine Shinichi Kudo in the first grade of elementary school, not a high school detective who had lost his medicine. So the protagonist found depressed that this guy's reasoning ability was not as good as himself, but he was so stinky that he could not count on his combat power. But his physique that caused the disaster did not change at all. So he was implicated to death and reincarnated.

Inuyasha during the death of Piao Tianwen, on one side is the Himakura Shrine in the Tokyo bombing era, and on the other side is the Warring States Period where demons are rampant. Both sides are full of crises and they can’t get anything to eat on both sides. In the end, I was really hungry and jumped to the Warring States Period with the unexploded bounce of the US military, planning to fry fish or monsters. "Just just saw this, I remembered that it was time to update, so I quickly copied this chapter.

Unfortunately, I haven't learned this way of writing Lei Wenpu for the time being.,
Chapter completed!
